I mean the UK had over 90,000 cases and 111 deaths today and it’s been like that for the past few weeks in Europe, right?

Arlington County just recorded the second- and third-highest single-day Covid case totals of the pandemic.

While Arlington’s vaccination rate — more than 90% of the adult population has received at least one jab — makes the county less susceptible to the worst health outcomes from a large Covid wave


Even if Arlington is fortunate enough to avoid a significant increase in serious illness from Covid this winter, a large wave would have other deleterious effects. Masking requirements may become stricter in some places and temporary closures of certain venues are possible. Daycare centers, pre-schools and K-12 schools could have outbreaks that send many students home to quarantine.

Arlington Public Schools has seen a more than 60% rise in cases over the past week, compared to the prior seven day period — 103 cases this past week compared to 64 cases the previous week.

Anyone else getting 2020 vibes? I feel like MoCo is going to cave after the break and go back to virtual school the way this is trending.

I'd increase the size of the wall you're building and just have it wrap and cover your entire home, see you in April of 2022!

Welp, it's been real! On the bright side looks like like I'll go back to picking up Frankly Pizza weekly.

i'm supposed to attend a homebrew club party/bottle-share tonight and everyone has started to get nervous.  it was supposed to be a mix of indoor and outdoor, and now the indoor portion has been jettisoned (yeay thermals!).  still a chance the whole thing might be shitcanned at the last second.  did i mention ugh?

Here in Arlington by East Falls Church masking is pretty predominant… and at grocery stores 90% plus

That seemsa very low death rate for so many cases. are you saying thats evidence thay Omicron os not very deadly in a highly vaccinated population?
